obama had a democratic congress when he came in, 60 votes in the senate, which , amount-- senator brown had won in massachusetts. but he started out with 60 and then it went down to 59 when senator kennedy and sadly died. i really admired senator kennedy as much as any man who ever served in the senate, even though we did not agree. mr. reagan had to deal with tip o'neill. that was one of the great events in washington politics because you had two extraordinarily capable politician opposing points of view. mr. reagan was poorly matched. mr. obama had nancy pelosi as speaker of the house. but hardly the same thing. host: from massachusetts on the line, democrat. caller: good morning. i have a comment and question. i am trying to find out, the situation you're in right now, why is everybody fighting about what we should do? i am gmt and i am broke every day. i'm down here with people that paid taxes and work hard every day. -- i am an emt. people don't understand that would ever happens with the fiscal cliff, people down here will survive. the republicans, this will definitely affect them

[spitting sounds] brown and drooly. not anymore. now there's snus. >> there's no spitting or anything, so no one knows you're doing it. >> when he does it, when justin billings uses snus, he tucks it, a tiny teabag-like pouch filled with tobacco, discreetly under his upper lip. there's no lump in his cheek and no juice. >> do you snus in class? >> yeah, it's great. >> what do you mean, it's great? >> i can be in class, and instead of looking like, "oh, there's 40 minutes left in this class; i just want a cigarette," i can put the snus in and continue to pay attention and don't have to focus on the tobacco craving. >> snus curbs the craving as the nicotine absorbs into his gums. >> you want to smell it? >> yeah. billings is 31, a musician and college student in l.a., who has smoked since he was 16. >> kind of grassy. >> smells good to me. >> phillip morris and r.j. reynolds have been selling their brands of marlboro and camel snus for about a year. at $4 a can, about half what a pack of cigarettes usually costs, the company say sales

intellectuals like henry highland-garnett, frederick douglass and had a big effect on a man named john brown who wanted to strike the first blow at harpers ferry. i guess this is the final thought i leave you with. one of the most remarkable things about movements from below is that they are unpredictable. you never know when they are going to arise or how. these -- these things that rise up, these demands for justice, these demands for equality, these demands for freedom, they are unpredictable, and in their unpredictability, i think they are also a great source of hope. thank you very much. [applause] we have time for questions, and i hope you have some. we would like for you to speak into the microphone if possible. >> during the discussion, you talk about roaming around on the decks. i was always led to believe as slaves were brought on to the ship, they stayed shackled until they were in the new world. was this different or get free somehow or do we know? >> yes, a good question. the standard practice on slave ships was for the men to be shackledded, but not the women or children unless
